Artists and musicians have long relied on their own creativity and originality to produce works that inspire, move, and delight audiences. But what happens when we introduce generative AI tools into the creative process? In this panel discussion, a group of experts will discuss how artificial intelligence tools work and the opportunities and challenges they pose for music and art composition. From defining creativity to assessing intellectual property, panelists will examine the complex issues that artists and musicians face when using AI to compose novel music and art. They will also consider the potential disruption that generative AI tools may bring to existing modes of creative composition and how this could impact the future of the arts. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation about the intersection of technology and the future of creative work.
